$cientology PR is the very definition of braggadocio. Little of what it claims is actually true and if the Clampire was so beset by so many enemies, how did it survive?
Well in France and Spain $cientology was convicted of fraud and punished accordingly. I am not up on what happened elsewhere except in Germany. The Germans stopped 'watching' the local Clams because they had to 'watch' the local Muslims instead. Ontario convicted the Clampire for its Snow White activities, so there lying IAS braggarts. The phrase 'lying liars who lie' fits $cientology all too well.
$cientology survived because they paid fines and threw their convicted fraudsters under the bus. And Wollershiem collected a lot more than a few thin dimes for his troubles.
Yes, funny how France is only mentioned once. The actual loss, and the paid ads that the criminal organisation known as the "church" of $cientology had to take out in international media to announce that it had been convicted of criminal fraud, does not rate a mention. Most unexpected.
Belgium did indeed come up with nothing, which was a bit of a turn-up for the books.
Some of us were there at those events, even under the spell of Dapper Dave it looks a little fishy.
And what about Mary Sue going to prison, or all the stolen documents that were found in the raids? The US raids were never found to be illegal. We need a few more of them!
I love Hubbard's stupidity of making a couple of secret taboo words (XENU and BODY-THETANS), and leaving them stuck as one of the insurmountable problem mistakes which Hubbard couldn't undo, and now the movement can't undo them either, and have to suffer the outside world's free speech.)
The Impact magazine got this fact 100% correct. I can personally testify to that.
“In Portland, the mother of all those lawsuits, a psych who was an "expert" witness claimed that Scientology was BRAINWASHING PEOPLE. Her deductive reasoning went like this: "Scientology presumes one may start, change and stop things — ergo, Scientologists are brainwashed."
The psychiatrist was spot on. Scientogists are robots that are “start, changed and stopped” by Davey and his minions. And Scientology lost that lawsuit.
Question (because I just re-read it): Is that why Ideal Orgs get built in those places, it is locations where Scientology has come under scrutiny? It kind of read that way.
"...protect Scientology and Scientologists." From what I've been reading on the Underground Bunker, Scientology protects its members with money. Did it protect the Jane Does or the children? Did it keep Trish from puting a fellow member in prison?
As I read through all the accounts of 'victories', I was wondering if this is documented or just DM blowing smoke?
I still cringe when I hear church and Scientology in the same sentence.And here we have more of their practice of lie and keep on lying. When will it all end? Sooner rather than later. The exaggeration of the number of active members is just one example of the lies being perpetrated by the‘ecclesiastical leader’.
Me too. But I've grown to find solice in the power of free speech to discuss Xenu and body-thetans in the same moment Scientology is brought up in discussion around me.
It takes 30 seconds to "ruin" someone and turn them into "Dead File" un-lure-able un-prey-able by Scientology, by explaining the Xenu and body-thetans OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 steps of upper Scientology. It all leads up into the Xenu story and Xenu's body-thetans exorcism.
Xenu is the antidote to Scientology's cringe causing.
>>>Among the charges was a claim that Scientology was somehow responsible for the demise of Spain's fascist dictator Francisco Franco — who had died a dozen years earlier.>>>
I am only surprised that Scientology itself did not take credit for Franco’s demise. I would owe them my gratitude, in memory of friends who fought against fascism in Spain.
But there is probably no need to quibble about how the article does not understand “precedent” or mischaracterizes court decisions related to Margaret Singer. It is enough to note that losing twice before settling is a strange way to describe precedent.
If Scientology has vanquished its opponents, then why fair game them or separate families? They should just declare victory and move on.

I would provide fact checks on CoS's recitation here, but I think there's a character limit on Substack comments.

Hubbard creates Xenu.
Xenu beats Scientology, and blame Hubbard for that.
Put the Xenu story in everyone's Christmas stocking, fast!
